AMRITSAR, Sept. 22 -- Gurdaspur member of Parliament (MP) Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has called for a high-level investigation into the collapse of three floodgates at Madhopur headworks, following the release of water from Ranjit Sagar Dam. In a letter to chief minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday, Randhawa questioned the decision to suspend three officials, including an executive engineer and SDO, and demanded that accountability be fixed at the highest level. The incident occurred on August 27, when the release of over 6 lakh cusecs of water from Ranjit Sagar Dam on the night of August 26 caused catastrophic flooding across Amritsar and Gurdaspur. Randhawa criticised the government for what he called an "administrative and technical failure", stating that the release of such a large volume of water should have been better coordinated, especially given the flood-prone nature of the area. In his letter, Randhawa raised several key concerns, including the absence of senior officials at Ranjit Sagar Dam during the critical hours when water levels peaked. He also questioned why there was no prior coordination with downstream structures like Shahpur Kandi Dam and Madhopur headworks before the gates were opened. Additionally, he asked why the gates at Madhopur were not opened in advance or in sync with the release from Ranjit Sagar Dam. The MP said if accountability is not fixed at the highest levels, he would raise the issue in Parliament. Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Sunday said the government immediately provide compensation to farmers for crop losses caused by recent floods. Sukhbir said the time to compensate farmers is now, when they need it most to prepare for the next sowing season. He also urged the AAP government to distribute certified seeds for the remaining two lakh acres of land and provide DAP fertilizer free of charge....
